Top University Heights Hotel Reviews

San Diego Mission Bay Resort

8/10 Good

"The room was nice. The bathroom sink was clogged on our last day. The beach was nice. The pool area was very nice. The staff is friendly. The initial charges were confusing. They only told me about parking and the hold. All charges should be disclosed upon check-in. Orher than that, my stay was nice."

The Sofia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was very clean and comfortable. The hotel itself is very charming. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. They have a large carafe of complementary flavored water at the desk. One day it was watermelon another day it was cucumber celery. I like the location of the hotel also, it's not too far from a grocery store. There are different restaurants and places to eat very close."
